Games 6 and 7: 78 Shiffman 4, Legal Weed 2 and 78 Shiffman 13, Legal Weed 6

Posted on May 9, 2021 by Neil deMause

Well, that was … you know, rather than try to summarize it, let me just tell it as it happened. Today was our first (and only of the regular season) doubleheader matchup against 78 Shiffman’s Raiders, who were undefeated so far … Continue reading →

Game 5: Legal Weed 9, 78 Nachsin 0

Posted on May 2, 2021 by Neil deMause

The Legal Weed — yes, we have a team name, and yes, that’s it, far be it from me to argue with either democracy or genius — gathered bright and early for our 8:45 am doubleheader vs. 78 Nachsin, with … Continue reading →

Games 3 and 4: SFX Anderson 7, Legal Weed 0 and Legal Weed 9, SFX Anderson 6

Posted on April 24, 2021 by Neil deMause

Our second of umpteen doubleheaders dawned bright and early, with our first game in two years against a team from the St. Francis league, which had opted out in the fall so it could play flag football instead. Our opponents: … Continue reading →

Games 1 and 2: Legal Weed 2, 78 Miller 1 and 78 Miller 8, Legal Weed 1

Posted on April 18, 2021 by Neil deMause

After last week’s rainout, it was nice and dry (if not quite as warm as the forecast) for today’s doubleheader of our as-yet-unnamed green team against Miller’s black-clad squad. Starting pitcher Dylan arrived just minutes before the scheduled game time, … Continue reading →

Game 12: Shiffman 10, Red Scare 4

Posted on November 15, 2020 by Neil deMause

The Red Scare’s season finale against Shiffman began like so many other games this season: With uncertainty whether we’d even be able to play. Once again, we were met with two large puddles on Parade Grounds Field 3, one next … Continue reading →

Game 11: Red Scare 5, Miller 2

Posted on November 10, 2020 by Neil deMause

Our last of four matchups this year with Miller, our last night game of the season — and our last run-in with the Tuesday night frisbee players. Once they’d finished their practice in the outfield (plus several minutes of stretching … Continue reading →

Game 10: Shiffman 18, Red Scare 4

Posted on November 8, 2020 by Neil deMause

I’m not going to do a blow-by-blow of yesterday’s game vs Shiffman, because not much went right for us: We couldn’t hit opposing starter Graeme at all (eight strikeouts, one infield out, and one lone walk), our starter Dylan was … Continue reading →

Game 9: Red Scare 10, Lieber 3

Posted on November 5, 2020 by Neil deMause

With no frisbee players in our way, the Red Scare were able to get started on last night’s game vs. Lieber’s Redrum early, with first pitch at 5:19 pm. On the mound for his first start of the season was … Continue reading →

Game 8: Miller 3, Red Scare 2

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Neil deMause

Last night’s game was a seesaw battle where it was unclear the entire time who was going to win, and even now, the next morning, we’re still not entirely sure who will end up being crowned the winner. I can’t … Continue reading →

Game 7: Red Scare 11, Williams 5

Posted on October 25, 2020 by Neil deMause

At 8 pm last night, I got an email from Adam in the league office: An undefeated Grasshoppers-level team didn’t have an opponent for its game the next morning at 8 am — could we fill in? I was skeptical … Continue reading →
